The Legendary Mechanic in Marvel Universe - Chapter 91
[Chapter 90 Otto’s Secret]
When Peter first heard Leo’s proposal, he really didn’t want to leave the lab he had been in for a long time.
Moreover, he is still subconsciously disgusted with the blind lawyer in the office next to the Eyre Building.
Therefore, Peter rejected Leo’s suggestion at first, and even thought “How can Mr. Erwin be so deliberately embarrassing”!
But when he thought about it carefully, and then tried to look at this issue from Leo’s standpoint, he suddenly found that Leo was really great!
Peter felt that if Leo really wanted to embarrass others, he could actually ignore the life and death of him and Otto.
Leo can definitely independently develop a successful mechanical prosthesis, and then sell it directly for money, without paying him and Otto’s salaries and dividends.
Such an analysis, Peter firmly believes that Leo is definitely not the kind of person who forgets his own interests.
In an instant, Leo’s personality became a little taller in Peter’s heart.
But how did Peter know that if there was no absolute motivation for Peter’s task, Leo would not be able to tinker with any mechanical prosthesis himself.
There are many ways to make money in his mind, and even he can make a lot of money by selling “miniature high-compression batteries” alone, so there is no need to make money from mechanical prostheses.
Leo did his best to contribute both money and effort, didn’t he just want to get both people and money in a natural way?
!
Peter thought he had figured out the whole truth of the matter, and he volunteered to be tricked by Leo.
“Mr. Erwin, I just thought about it clearly, and I am willing to support your proposal to work at Erwin Technology.”
Peter turned to look at Otto again,
“I think, there is such a good opportunity, Octavius. Doctor, you will definitely be willing to go to El Technology with me.
Doctor, we can continue our research work together again. And this time, the research progress will be much faster and smoother than the previous research. ”
In Peter’s cognition, Otto has always had the same goal as his, both wanting to successfully manufacture a mechanical prosthesis for the benefit of disabled people around the world.
Now that there is hope for the completion of their goals, Otto has no reason to refuse to work at El Tech.
However, to Peter’s surprise, Otto actually refused.
“Peter, go to El Tech by yourself, your goals are there. Also, you’ll have a much better future there than with me.
I’ve been at NYU for decades, campus areas and labs The room is like home to me, and I have some old friends here who are like my family.
I’m getting old and I don’t want to leave here.
Now I have the technology to sell ‘miniature nuclear reactors’ $2.5 million, and I don’t need to continue to invest in the failed ‘Nerve Arm’ project.
This
money is enough for the rest of my life to live comfortably, even in luxury.
NYU teaches quietly and spends the rest of his life in peace.
So, Peter, don’t worry, don’t worry about me.”
Otto smiled kindly, and his eyes were full of vision for the future.
“Dr. Octavius, I am so envious of your future life.
In fact, I have always dreamed of this kind of life. Every morning I wake up and have a meal with my relatives. At night, I have a drink with my friends and chat. , isn’t life beautiful?
Hey, but life is often involuntary, for example, I have lost even a relative and an old friend from the past!”
The outsider Bucky next to him didn’t understand the truth of the matter at all, but he was a little yearning at this time And jealous of Otto’s future good life.
But Leo won’t believe that Otto will have a good future in the future. There is only one reason, that is, “Dr. Octopus will definitely blacken the law”!
Not only Leo, but even Peter didn’t believe Otto’s words.
“Dr. Octavius, you can’t say such a thing, it’s not you.”
Peter shook his head again and again, staring at Otto with a stern look in his eyes,
“You still remember half a year ago,’ When the nerve arm’s first successful move, did you drink happily until you got very drunk, and what you said when you got drunk at the end?
You may not remember it, but I remember it clearly.
Yes, you really like New York The university’s open campus, but you don’t like this laboratory at all.
When you were drunk, you said that when your project is successful and you apply for funding, you must change to a larger and brighter laboratory.
Moreover, you were I also said that there are many teachers in New York University who are chasing fame and fortune, which makes you very unhappy.”
Peter got more and more excited because he was worried about Otto, stood up and said loudly,
“Home? Family? Doctor, are you here? What nonsense?!
Dr. Octavius, what happened to you? Why did you make up a reason for refusing to go to El Tech?? What are you hiding from me???” The
laboratory suddenly fell silent, The atmosphere was a little tense.
The outsider Bucky finally said something, but at this time he realized that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly lowered his head and played poker quietly.
Although Leo could guess that Otto was not telling the truth, he did not expect that Otto would be exposed on the spot by Peter.
In fact, he also wanted to know why Otto refused to work at El Technology Company and why he lied, so Leo did not come forward to mediate, but chose to sit quietly and eat melons.
After a long time, Otto took a long sigh and said,
“Peter, I don’t want to go to El Tech or leave the laboratory, just because I want to stay here and continue to study the ‘intracranial nerve signal’ sensing technology. .”
Otto paused, and wanted to raise his hands to rub his face, but he tried a few times without success, so he put it down helplessly.
Otto sighed again, and then said:
“Peter, I’m sorry, I lied to you. The original intention of my research on the ‘neural arm’ was not as grand as I said to you.
In fact, I researched the ‘neural arm’ .
‘The ultimate purpose, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com is for myself.”
Peter didn’t understand what Otto said, and asked suspiciously:
“Dr. Octavius, what do you mean? You have good hands and feet. Earth, what do you want a ‘nerve arm’ for?!”
“Humph! Well…”
Otto raised his palms upwards, staring at his own hands and
said, “They are no longer good, or they are almost dead, you Didn’t you notice? I couldn’t even rub my face just now.”
Peter was even more puzzled, and he asked:
“Doctor, what happened? Why am I getting more and more confused?
” The problem, the doctor said it was called ‘degenerative neurological disorder syndrome’, and he said there was no cure for it.
And one of the main reasons I got sick was probably because I got a slight exposure to radiation when I was working on a miniature nuclear reactor. Nuclear radiation. Another main reason may be that when I was doing research, I was exposed to toxic substances for too long.
It was because I was too careless when I was young and did things too recklessly.”
Otto shook his head and said helplessly,
“But The strange thing is that this symptom only affects the muscles, my mind is still working normally, but I can’t control my body freely, and it will get worse in the future. That’s
why I invented this set of ‘intracranial nerve signal transmitters’ Sense of technology’, hoping that after my muscles are exhausted, I can live independently on it.
I’m sorry, Peter, I lied to you.
You go, you don’t have to worry about me, start your own new life, your future is not It is necessary to be implicated by me, then I will feel guilty!”
